Around five years ago, we bought 4 new douglas ultra trac 2 tires from the local walmart. The truck was retired from highway use shortly after and the tires have less than a thousand miles use on them. The truck has been in light use around the house to move materials after, and seen less than one hundred miles use. Silver city new mexico is a rural area with no smog at around 6 thousand feet. I heard a noise in the yard, went to investigate and found that a rear tire had blown out on the inside rear. The failure had come from the bead of the tire, on the shaded side of the wheel. There was no other damage to be seen on the tire. On examining the tire before removal, I found that the rubber was so deteriorated that I could tear it, chord included, with my bare hands (I'm nearly 70 and disabled). I felt that these tires are a considerable safety hazard. Have tried several times to contact the local walmart management without success. Has anything been done to remove these tires from use?

Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
- Risk
- The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired free of charge.
